Hydro Lake Levels Decline Further

However, on two occasions levels have dropped toward average and then recovered. Storage declined to 102% of average for the time of year on the 4th of April, before a slow recovery set in for the rest of the month. A steady decline during June and July saw lake levels again fall to 102% of average on July 20th before they again recovered.

Another steady decline began early in September when storage sat at 3253 GigaWatt hours (GWh), 145% of average. Lake levels steadily lowered until November 15th when they reached 100% of average. The following day, they dropped to 2515 GWh, 99% of average for the time of year. Levels dropped slowly over the next few days reaching 2470 GWh on Thursday the 19th of November before they again began rising.
